2 days - 10 Tiger Muskys


Recommended Posts

A friend of mine wanted to catch Tiger Muskys, I said I know where to get some. Went to Fulton Chain and raised over 25 fish, landed 10. All the fish were released unharmed before folks start criticizing him for the vertical hold.  He was excited so as fish were lifted out of net, we paused, took photo, then released immediately.

Start at old forge pond and work towards 3rd lake.  If you are going to troll, then 4th lake above 25 feet targeting the water column between 8-20 feet.  Target all SAV and any natural structure away from the developed shoreline.  If you want to guarantee at least one, bring large shiners or sucker minnows and look for inlet channels or bays and set up there. Studies in the scientific literature revealed Musky, Pike, and Hybrids prefer prey 1/3 their body length so if you want a 40 inch fish, use 11-13 inch minnows...never failed me yet.

You can find them in channel, sporadically, in the early season. They will stack up in old forge pond if the weeds are in and move out of the channel as it warms up; you can find them in the channel then. For the best opportunity, time your trip with good weather conditions for musky fishing, lots of water and plenty of places for the fish to hide in that system.  You can also get some great Pike action in between each Musky, so its a good place  once you fish it 3-4 times and find your go-to spots on it.  Plus, the local residents despise the Tigers and Northern Pike so they dont fish for them which makes it under fished for people like us who target them. Honestly, the key until you figure out the casting/trolling method, bring live bait and set up in the bays off the edge of weedlines and hold on to the rod!
